I ain't afraid of no debt! That's why I spent my two dollars on a Halloween lottery card.

For this year, Missouri ditched the generic Halloween theme in favor of a Ghostbusters theme. I was only able to find the Slimer card, but there are three different designs to choose from as seen in this gif from the Missouri Lottery website.

It's a nice change from years past. Speaking of change, let's try to win some.

Hey, I won! I won! I won two bucks! I've been playing the Halloween lottery for years and usually I end up with a loser card. Not today, 'cause I'm a Halloween lottery winner.

I was going through some photos from 2011 and completely forgot that I snapped a couple of photos of this very cool Trader Joe's sign. Not sure why I didn't post it for the countdown that year, but I'm happy to share the images for this year's countdown. Trader Joe's always does an amazing job with presentations and advertising. This was outside in front of one their St. Louis stores.

Apparently, putting bags over your head and calling it a Halloween mask was the thing to do in the 1950s. See the evidence here and here! Below are two pages from the 1950 school workbook, Growing With Art: Fun To Begin.
